About this study

Official title: The Effect of A Newly Formulated Preoperative Oral Carbohydrate Solution on Gastric Emptying, Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting and Stress Response

The current preoperative fasting guidelines recommend, applying preoperative carbohydrate solution 2 hours before the operation to minimize prolonged fasting time potential negative effects and improve patient comfort. Fasting after midnight before the operation day is a widespread practice. The major obstacle to preoperative carbohydrate solutions becoming prevalent and extremely long fasting time is the limited product; which is proven safe and efficient, and unavailable in several countries. In this study, our objective is to analyze the gastric volume, preoperative anxiety, stress response, postoperative insulin resistance, and postoperative nausea and vomiting by utilizing a low osmolality oral carbohydrate solution prepared with ginger and melissa.

The current preoperative fasting guidelines recommend, applying preoperative carbohydrate solution 2 hours before the operation to minimize prolonged fasting time potential negative effects and improve patient comfort. Fasting after midnight before the operation day is a widespread practice. The major obstacle to preoperative carbohydrate solutions becoming prevalent and extremely long fasting time is the limited product; which is proven safe and efficient, and unavailable in several countries. In this study, our objective is to analyze the gastric volume, preoperative anxiety, stress response, postoperative insulin resistance, and postoperative nausea and vomiting by utilizing a low osmolality oral carbohydrate solution prepared with ginger and melissa.

109 patients who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, aged 18-65 years, and ASA physical state 1-2 were included in the study. The patients were divided into 3 groups: Group A, who would not eat anything 6-8 hours before the operation, Group S, who drank 400 ml of water 2 hours before the operation, and Group K, which drank 400 ml preoperative oral carbohydrate solution (PreOKH) 2 hours before the operation. Before induction of anesthesia (T1), patients' antral gastric cross-sectional area (GKA) and gastric volume (GV) were evaluated by gastric ultrasound. The preoperative anxiety level of the patients was determined by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAl) before the operation (T1), and the symptoms affecting the preoperative patient comfort parameters (thirst, hunger, dry mouth, fatigue) were measured 2 hours before the operation (T0) and before the induction (T1) evaluated with the visual analog scale (VAS). Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postoperative pain levels were recorded. Blood glucose, insulin, and cortisol levels of the patients were measured 2 hours before the operation (T0), before induction (T1), and postoperative 2nd hour (T3)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Gastric volume

    Assessment of gastric volume by ultrasound

    Measured: prior to anesthesia induction

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. preoperative anxiety

    preoperative anxiety will be assessed with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory

    Measured: before coming to the operating room, Scored between 20 and 80 points. A high score indicates high anxiety

  2. postoperative nausea and vomiting

    postoperative nausea and vomiting scores of the patients will be evaluated

    Measured: up to postoperative 24 hours, numeric rank score is scored between 0 and 3 points

  3. thirst, hunger, fatigue, dry mouth

    thirst, hunger, fatigue, dry mouth will be evaluated with visual analog scale

    Measured: before drink (2 hous before surgery), prior to anesthesia induction, visual analog scale is scored between 0 and 10

  4. Postoperative Pain Score

    Postoperative Pain Score will be evaluated with visual analog scale

    Measured: up to postoperative 24 hours, visual analog scale is scored between 0 and 10

  5. postoperative insulin resistance

    Blood glucose mg/dL, Insulin milli-International unit/L, Cortisol µg/dL

    Measured: glucose, insulin and cortisol will be measured 2 hours before surgery(before drink), before induction and 2 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Preoperative carbohydrate solution in people with Vomit Aspiration and Anxiety, run by Bezmialem Vakif University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Emine Seyda Teloglu (+905394191544, eteloglu@bezmialem.edu.tr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Gastric volume (time frame: prior to anesthesia induction). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Mar 2024.
